Abstract

The present invention provides a method for reciprocity error calibration, comprising steps of: measuring downlink channel response HDL; measuring uplink channel response HUL; calculating one of a user equipment reciprocity error Em and a base station reciprocity error Eb utilizing least square LS criterion based on the HDL and HUL in accordance with a reciprocity model HDL=Em−1HULTEb; calculating the other one of the Em and Eb based on the calculated one of Em and Eb utilizing an algorithm adopting minimum mean square error MMSE criterion; and performing a reciprocity error calibration operation utilizing the calculated user equipment reciprocity error Em and base station reciprocity error Eb. There is further provided a reciprocity error calibration device for performing the reciprocity error calibration method. The reciprocity error calibration method and the reciprocity error calibration device according to the present invention may provide better reciprocity error calibration performance.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to wireless communication systems, and specifically to a reciprocity error calibration device and a reciprocity error calibration method.TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

[0002] Channel reciprocity is one of key features of time-division multiplexing TDD systems, which plays a significant role in most TDD (for example, TD-SCDMA, WiMAX, WiFi, etc.) systems and enables the implementation of variety of advanced signal processings (beamforming, MIMO, transmit diversity, etc.). In practice, a plurality of factors would affect the reciprocity errors of uplinks and downlinks, including transceiver mismatch, Doppler effect due to mobility, asymmetric interference etc. It is required to reduce the reciprocity errors through antenna array reciprocity error calibration.

[0003] Due to use of a joint processing method (for example, coordinated multi-point processing CoMP), the requirement on the precision of calibration method becomes higher. For example, the co...
